On reading and considering the Report from the Committee of

Upon hearing Mr. Thomas Muir, on the Report of the Committee
of Aggrievances and Courts of Justice, on the Complaint of Roger
Hooper, Resolved, That the said Thomas Muir did illegally and
oppressively distrain upon the said Roger Hooper for a much greater
Sum of Money for Quit-Rents than was really due to the Lord Pro-
prietary, and took and received (from the said Hooper) as Receiver

Money.
It being moved that an Address be prepared to his Excellency the
Governor, to intreat him to order a Prosecution against the said
Thomas Muir, for the Extortion aforesaid; thereupon the Ques-
tion was put, Whether an Address be prepared to his Excellency,
